The Value of a Coach

Everyone can write. Everyone has something important to say. A writing coach helps you find those words without stress.

As we edit your memories and ideas into a strong application essay or compelling book, you may see your life change.

I’ve seen clients overjoyed because they were admitted to their dream college or because their published book opened them up to a world of “their people.” As you grip your pen and chat with a friendly expert, you’ll discover your unique and compelling story.

Insightful, Fun & Easy Going

"My daughter worked with Deb a few years back to tweak her college essay. All her college acceptances commented on her unique essay, as did her one late rejection. Deb is insightful, fun & easy going. She relates well to students and is able to get them to organize their own thoughts in an original yet interesting & professional way."

Brainstorming Ideas

"I liked how I would brainstorm ideas with you, and how you took a personal interest in my life to find out what I could best write about. My advice to other students is to not stress about finding a good story, because everyone has something unique and important to say."
